Situated in the southern Caucasus, Armenia is a mountainous country with an average height of 1,800 metres of above sea level. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The best time to visit is from late August to November, and from April to June, although in the mountains even mid-summer is pleasant.

The landscape is varied, with towering mountain ranges, deep gorges, forests, alpine meadows, volcanic craters, desert and mountain steppe. Freshwater Lake Sevan in the centre of the country is at 2,000 metres above sea level and creates Armenia's only 'coast'.

Wildlife

With its position on a major migration route, and the existence of such varied terrain with a small area, Armenia has a surprisingly diverse wildlife. 346 species of birds have been officially recorded there out of 550 for the whole of Europe. These include the Caspian Snowcock, Radde's Accentor, Finch's Wheatear, Armenian Gull, Caucasian Black Grouse, Red-fronted Serin and White-talied Lapwing.

For the biologist, Armenia is heaven for exploration. It varies from dry semi-desert species of flowers and insects to typical temperate forest inhabitants like bears and wolves. There are 3000 species of plants in Armenia.

Many years ago, Armenia was much larger than it is today, but when the Armenian Genocide happened in 1915 much of Armenia was taken over by turkey! Armenia is now about 1/3 of its size than it was before the genocide! Thanks to Turkey, many people died on that day and and innocent country with only soldiers and no army was taken over including our beloved and famous mountain, Ararat! But we Armenians never give up on hope! We believe that one day through God, everyone will recognized by people all over the world.
